Residents are fleeing from Damasak village in

northeastern Nigeria as soldiers from Niger and

Chad threaten to leave following the failure of

the Nigerian army to deploy in the area.

A source told SaharaReporters that the allies

have given the Nigerian army an ultimatum to

occupy the village within three days or the

coalition troops would abandon it, leaving

thousands of residents vulnerable to renewed

attacks by Boko Haram, which is based in the

region.

Boko Haram militants were forced out of

Damasak, located in Borno State, by coalition

troops in March of this year.
